How Kit and Linktree compare
Kit, formerly ConvertKit, is email marketing made for creators. Forms and landing pages, tags and segments, visual automations, sequences, a Creator Network for recommendations, paid newsletters, and Kit Commerce for digital products give a creator everything the list needs, with a free plan to start. It is thoughtful and built by people who know creators.
Linktree solved a real problem and still does it best. One link in your bio opens a tidy page of links, embeds, a shop, tip jar, and email capture, with analytics on every tap. Millions of creators rely on it because it takes two minutes and simply works.
